Thanks to all for the encouragement and critiques. I appreciate your feedback.
@mangee – thank you…I wish you success as well
@jenniitemaa – I use the Platinum SEO Plugin. And thanks for pointing out that my meta-descriptions need work. I really only concentrated on the one for the home page. While meta-tags (especially the keyword meta tag) have become less important over the years for SEO, meta-descriptions are still important mainly because it is what the potential visitor sees. You need to please the spiders and even more importantly, sell the click to real people!
@adsenseplugin – thanks for calling the logo and site brandable. I was definitely going for that. Also, why not have social media buttons in both places?
Thanks again everyone!
